My lenses alone would be 400$ if I bought them retail; I paid 13$ for my current pair. <br /><br />I&#39;m wearing Privo Nitrons now because of my terrible, flat feet. They&#39;re stylish enough to be cute with dresses or shorts and I&#39;m not in horrible pain after walking around all day.Samanthahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00667970838510403909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-65688528887929038842011-06-01T10:52:17.128-04:002011-06-01T10:52:17.128-04:00What a cute post!

I am taking time off from my job and now I have time to read your blog :-) I am curious as to what your previous job was and what the freelance one consists of! Well, I&#39;ll have to read the previous posts... :-)<br /><br />One question about the &quot;unmentionables&quot; - the bike shorts - do you use those as underpants? Personally I find it uncomfortable if they have a seam right through their center.<br /><br />Love your blog! Good luck in your new freelance way!Kerenhttp://sinistercat.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-51029053484999815652011-05-31T14:21:04.308-04:002011-05-31T14:21:04.308-04:00LOVE this outfit, Gertie!!! :) Especially those su...LOVE this outfit, Gertie!!! :) Especially those sunnies--so cute!Caseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-12100705749252456502011-05-30T03:17:28.743-04:002011-05-30T03:17:28.743-04:00Sorry to blather on...

I&#39;m now reading through the rest of the comments.<br /><br />I agree that a lot of the AA ads are problematic, and some stories I&#39;ve heard about the owner seem kinda skeezy; however, click through their online women&#39;s section. I find that the models represent a much greater variety of both body shapes and races than A LOT of other stores/magazines. <br /><br />They are still mostly thin and portrayed in a very sexual manner, but they&#39;re definitely encouraging an image of female beauty that goes beyond the typical white waif we see so often in fashion advertising... so, still room for improvement, but that&#39;s something at least.RachelMakesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-38387698440498195242011-05-30T03:00:52.034-04:002011-05-30T03:00:52.034-04:00Gertie, I just made the same shorts discovery!

I layered a pair under one of my shorter, tighter dresses (truth be told, I was out of underwear... sometimes laundry laziness results in wonderful fashion discoveries), and the shorts eliminated the dreaded visible panty line without fear of flashing. I will definitely be using that trick more this summer!<br /><br />I love your lemon dress!

Their shoe selection is amazing. I like Puma Sport (though they don&#39;t look very vintage), but Anne Klein also makes &quot;iFlex&quot; shoes with a little more arch support.

As for glasses- The Slapdash Sewist has turned me onto zennioptical.com and I&#39;ve not looked back. You can put all kinds of lenses into all kinds of things and the glasses are cheap enough that you can treat them like accessories instead of investments. I think I generally get out of there for about $20-$30 per pair for single vision. NAYY by the way. Shipping is slow though.Laurenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11324391008394382710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259455441759015869.post-88445833472921439652011-05-27T18:20:55.975-04:002011-05-27T18:20:55.975-04:00Well now that you said it seems incredibly obvious...Well now that you said it seems incredibly obvious! haha!
